This is a really interesting picture. The way you framed this shot draws some sort of metaphor between the woman and the painted image. It's almost as if the painted image represents her soul or spirit (not necessarily in a religious way, I guess you could interpret this in many ways). The cool tones and colors here are beautiful and suit the mood of the shot. Good clarity and detail, and very nice cropping. Perhaps it would have been better if you did not crop the top edge of her head or her hand at the left since that breaks the continuity and composition of the shot. Gorgeous lighting coming from the way right side around the corner, it makes it seem as if the painted image is creating a warm glow. Great point of view at her eye level too, which makes the shot more intimate, and thus lends to the theme and interpretations. Beautiful and very unique, TFS!
